The fact is that someone only needs self certification to obtain a PLA licence for a pleasure boat or launch not for hire to use the Tideway. I believe most problems are caused by cruisers that are not familiar with the Tideway that come from the non-tidal Thames through Teddington and those who launch small outboard craft from the slipways. Of course it would be foolhardy to attempt coastal cruising or a channel crossing without appropriate charts, knowledge, navigational competance and training however, many do. |
